Solar strut is a specialized support framework designed to securely fix, orient, and elevate photovoltaic modules (solar panels) in a specific configuration. It's U shaped and it has several standard sizes: 41*21mm, 41*41mm, 41*52mm, 41*62mm, 41*72mm, 41*82mm. Some solart strut only have holes at the bottom, while others may also have holes on the heights. There are two types of solar struts: 1.5-2.5mm thickness and 1.5-3.0mm thickness. It seems only 0.5mm tolerence, but the machine for two types will be quite different in both prices and configuration.
There are many methods for manufacturing solar strut roll forming machines. It can be punched with a punch press, a roller punch press, or a hydraulic punching method. It can be structured in the form of an archway or a wall panel. Overall, our factory believes that the servo-tracking punching and tracking shearing method is the most cost-effective approach. Moreover, if the customer has no special requirements, all our solar strut roll forming machines adopt the servo-tracking punching and tracking shearing method. The equipment speed can reach 15 to 20 meters per minute, which is faster than the method using a punch press. It is also easier to operate and has lower subsequent maintenance and upkeep costs. Although the speed of the servo tracking punching and tracking shearing method cannot be compared with that of the roller punching machine, its price is much lower and the occupied area is also much smaller, because once the die of the roller punching machine is damaged, the price of repurchasing it will be very high. In addition, one solar strut roll forming machine can produce several sizes by changing spacers manually, which is cost-effecient.
However, A PV mounting system is far more than a simple"metal bracket." It is a critical, performance-enabling component of any solar installation. Its design directly impacts the system's energy yield, long-term reliability, safety, and ultimate financial return. Selecting a high-quality, properly engineered mounting solution is essential for ensuring the success and durability of a photovoltaic power plant.
